My coworker who sits next to me doesn't shut the hell up. I have my ipod in. Most people would take that as a sign to leave me alone.
Nope, she's now shaking my chair when she wants to talk to me.
Next time she shakes your chair, scream and flail (preferably hitting her in the mouth) then drop to the floor and hide under your desk. Say you thought it was an earthquake.
A mom in my playgroup said one oftheir children's friends had a mud themed birthday party. The kids rolled around in mud and they just hosed them off afterward. She was all NBD about it but I was horrified. I blurted out 'OMG do the parents hate you?!' before I could catch myself. Que foot in mouth. But still. If DS was invited to a mud party, I think we'd be busy that day.
Why are the Halloween costumes from Pottery Barn so cute??? Gah! I want that owl costume for DD so bad but I am unwilling to pay that much for something she will wear one day. And I looked on EBAY and they are just as expensive used. FWP!!!

It sounds fun to me, until I think about transporting the kid home. If we had access to a bath after, I would be all over that!

A check magically showed up just when we needed it yesterday. I guess we overpaid on our homeowner's insurance when we closed on our house so we got a refund from the insurance company.
I'm going to make an appointment for a hair cut today. It's been way too long. I'm hoping they can do something that doesn't require blow drying since I'm limited on time.
I washed my new shoes that got peed on and they completely fell apart. The soles totally separated from the shoe. DH is trying to fix them with Shoe Goo, but he said so far they aren't looking very good. I just blew $100 and now I still need new shoes.
I still feel like a jerk after yesterday and it wasn't even that bad. I really do need to keep my mouth shut about work though so thanks for helping me realize that.
We had fish for dinner last night that I caught on our vacation last week. It was kind of weird, but kind of cool that we were eating something that I caught.

That's perfect, you can get your money back next year for the costume, so really it's free :-).
My BIL is turning into a Groomzilla, the boy is annoying the shit out of my husband and I. I keep biting my tongue with all the demands and guilt trips that keep being flung at my husband. It's not my place to really say anything, I'm not part of the wedding party. It's my husband who is working 60 hours a week and having to drop whatever he's doing to cater to his brother's needs that's annoying. DH's the best man and honestly he wants out at this point.
I just found out t coworker is leaving. I am taking on all of her studies, coming into my busiest part of the year. Nice knowing my family, hopefully they recognize me next spring when I come up for air.
Dd is supposed to be reading at a level 3, as a benchmark. She is at level 10 or above.
I am hoping her expeditionary learning program will be good for this. She is in her first week of first grade and reads chapter books. I am so proud of her.

I totally pulled an ML today in my flu shot class. We were looking at a powerpoint presentation about how to offer the flu shots when a slide came up under "Roll Play". Yeah, I immediately thought about that post where the 3 managers walked out and left that note about their "roll" in the business lol. I had to correct him, in private. "I thought we were playing with actual rolls!"
I shouldn't have come in today either. I'm so over this day already and it's only 11:30.
I'm starving already and have nothing to snack on here.
It's chilly and rainy here today and is supposed to be that way all week. I'm not sure whether to be happy about that or be sad. I'm not ready for winter yet, but the 90+ degree weather we've been having is too much. I need to move somewhere that has like 80* temps during the day and 70* temps at night all year round. That would be perfect.
And it just so happens that maintenance is working on the boiler for our office this week so it's colder than normal in here.

UGH, daycare just sent an email saying a couple of the rooms have kids out with hand foot and mouth. I am almost crying just thinking about how much that is going to suck if DS catches it as we are listing our house. Holy f*ck. He has been really irritable the last couple days, but we just thought he was cutting molars.

Bleh, I totally fell off the WW wagon the past few weeks with the stress from moving and the soul crushing job hunt. I wish I could stick to a diet/weight loss plan long term, but my willpower is in the toilet.

I have a VM from one of the jobs I interviewed at, but there is no one talking, and then I can hear the click of the phone hanging up. Should I phone them back? Email them? Ignore?

1. That kid who casually reached over and gave my boob a solid HONK over the summer? Did it again today. And then, in an apparent attempt to keep me from telling him off, stuck his finger up my nose. All in front of a hooooooooot therapist, who laughed his dick head off. 2. My underwear felt weird all morning. But I guess that's what happens when you put them on backwards. 3. In one of my clients' classes, a middle school tech ed class, we have been reviewing the classroom procedures for the past TWO WEEKS. A forty five minute class. Where do you get work if you're absent? What's the schedule? How do you get a detention? FIVE DAYS NOW. And tomorrow, we're having a 25-question quiz on it. I am about to shoot to the moon. I've abandoned all pretense of professionalism and my client and I keep shooting each other looks. I'm about to start playing hangman with him.
Since day one of house hunting, our realtor has been like "oh you can make a suite!! You should buy this house, it has a suite!!", even after we very strongly expressed that in no way, shape, or form did we want a suite in our house. I would rather live in a tent than have renters below us. Been there, done that. No fucking way ever again. Anyway, the house we bought has a big unfinished room in the basement, which we plan to turn into an entertainment room/bar area. So today my h gets an email from the realtor and he's like "so when do you want the moving truck. Also, my nephew is looking for a suite to rent, I can vouch for him". Like, he thinks we're going to finish off the basement right now this second so that his nephew has a place to live. What kind if fucking realtor is this guy??? How unprofessional.
I'm annoyed that many fortune cookies don't have actual fortunes in them anymore - they are more like "sayings" for example "You are not a person who can be ignored". THAT'S NOT A FORTUNE!!
That's cool that you had an interview @tambcat. When will you hear back?
My baby is four months old today. He's just so adorable, I'm very happy to be a family of four. He has his well check tomorrow. I love those appts. Except for the shots. I'm excited to see how much he's grown.
Realtors are some of the most unprofessional professionals. lol. I mean, not ALL realtors. But my H works peripherally with realtors and he has seen/heard some real doozies. And why DO THEY ALWAYS TYPE LIKE THIS!??!?
I don't know! Ours does that too. I guess everything is super urgent, or something.
Even my mortgage person was like "uhh, yeah, he would be the last realtor on earth that I would ever recommend". I see why. He probably won't even give us a gift. Lol.

I'd call if it were me.
She phoned back, and I got the job! I have to start tomorrow though, right after my doctor's appointment and Thursday & Friday for training. Woot! Woot!
